IMAGES WON’T SHOW AFTER MIGRATING TO A NEW SERVER - THE FIX IS IN - Aug 4th, 2010

If you’ve tried to move your web site from one server to another and even after you’ve carefully updated all the paths checked your settings.dat file you’re still struggled with existing images not appearing as they should, well struggle no more. Although as Dave Edis from Interactive Tools acknowledges (as of version 2.03) that the issue centers on the fact that the full image paths are stored in the cms_uploads table instead of relative ones, there’s still a pretty easy fix. Instead of manually updating values in the filePath, urlPath, thumbFilePath, thumbUrlPath columns in the cms_uploads table, Dave suggests that “...the quickest workaround for now is as follows: - Click "Backup" under: Admin > General - Download the new .sql backup file from /data/backups - Create a backup copy of this file. - Open the original in your favorite text or file editor - Do a search and replace for "oldpath" to "newpath" - Upload it and click restore Basically: Backup -> Edit .sql file -> Restore That's also a handy way to do other search and replaces if needed.”
